Small Business Subcontracting Participation (Socioeconomic Support)

Small businesses are invited to participate in subcontracting opportunities to support a prime contractor’s socioeconomic evaluation score under a Department of Defense solicitation tied to NAICS code 333999. This subcontracting initiative is designed to enhance the prime contractor’s standing in federal socioeconomic assessments by integrating qualified small businesses into the supply chain, though no specific set-aside designation is applied. The opportunity was posted on July 29, 2026, with responses required by August 27, 2026, and is managed by the Land Supply Chain organization under the Office of the Secretary of Defense. While no place of performance or point of contact details are specified, interested small businesses must engage directly through the provided DIBBS portal to pursue participation and align with the prime contractor’s subcontracting goals. The effort does not involve a formal contract award but rather enables small firms to contribute to a larger bid’s compliance and competitiveness through verified subcontracting commitments.
